OK, but did the procmail enhancements make it in the generated .cf file?

If making procmail available (or mandatory) for all users I can see
justification for what you are trying. But for just one user why not
keep it simple with a "|/usr/local/bin/procmail" in /etc/aliases?
I aliased root to me and now it works. Thank you for the tip.
I set up sendmail this way years ago, before I discovered fetchmail,
procmail, getmail & maildrop.
I would like to get away from sendmail or any other MTA for that matter,
but
never found solution for handling the emails generated by the system.
Check out DragonFlyBSD's dma(1). It's designed just for this purpose.
